- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
Package : libphp-phpmailer
Vulnerability : missing input validation
Problem-Type : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID : CVE-2007-3215
Thor Larholm discovered that libphp-phpmailer, an email transfer class
for PHP, performs insufficient input validition if configured to use
Sendmail. This allows the execution of arbitrary shell commands.
The oldstable distribution (sarge) doesn't include libphp-phpmailer.
For the stable distribution (etch) this problem has been fixed in
version 1.73-2etch1.
For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in
version 1.73-4.
We recommend that you upgrade your libphp-phpmailer package.
